{{QA/Test_Case
 
|description=This case tests upgrading a Fedora system from the current stable release ({{FedoraVersion|long}}) to the development release (Rawhide/{{FedoraVersion|long|next}}) using [[PreUpgrade]].
{{admon/note|Note|This test requires you to have a wired connection to the internet during the install.}}
|actions=
# Perform an installation of the stable release (e.g. {{FedoraVersion|long}}) with default partitioning (200MB for <code>/boot</code>).
# Create a file that takes up enough space that preupgrade cannot install stage2 now. That means we need to fill up 100MB.  Here's how to do that as root:
#:<pre>
#: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/preupgrade_filler bs=1M count=100
#:</pre>
# Install the newest available version of {{package|preupgrade}}.
# Run <code>preupgrade</code> from a command prompt or the ''Run Application'' dialog. Provide the requested password for root authorization.
# On the "Choose desired release" screen, enable "unstable test releases".
# Choose ''Rawhide'' from the list of available upgrade targets, then click ''Apply''.
# During downloading, preupgrade should warn that there wasn't enough space to download install.img but it can be downloaded after reboot if you have a wired network connection. Click ''continue'' for that.
# When preupgrade is done don't reboot immediately. Instead, remove the /boot/preupgrade_filler file and make sure your computer is connected to the network via an ethernet cable.
#:<pre>
#: # rm /boot/preupgrade_filler
#:</pre>
# Click ''reboot''.
|results=
# The preupgrade utility will run to completion, without error.
# The users are prompted with a ''Not enough space to download install.img'' warning.
# The computer should boot into the installer, connect to the internet via the ethernet cable and start downloading the stage2 installer image. 
# The system should be upgraded to new version without error.
# The opened terminal, file browser, or other system applications should display and work correctly.
